🚨PLEASE RT: Here are the details of the amendment. Introducing w/ @RonWyden & @ChrisMurphyCT. We already have 12 confirmed cosponsors, representing states all over the country. This isn’t just an Oregon crisis. It's an American crisis. We need to stop Trump before this spreads. https://t.co/jTmvkGpr0m — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

This is a County Commissioner who reps Portland. @realDonaldTrump is trampling over the will of the people & elected local leaders. Commr Meieran is right. We can't wait until Nov. We need every American & every US Senator to demand an end to these abuses before they spread. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

I'm flying back to DC right now to introduce legislation to STOP TRUMP from using his federal forces as secret military police. What he is doing in my state is the stuff of dictatorships and nightmares, and let me be clear: If he gets away with it in OR, he will do it elsewhere. https://t.co/wOq8pdWARZ — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

More than 76,000 new cases of coronavirus reported yesterday, & Trump is trying to block billions of dollars for testing, contact tracing, & disease control efforts that will save lives. What kind of leader chooses a path in which thousands more will die? https://t.co/Q5DTMZGm9z — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

You say your agents are clearly marked as federal law enforcement & have unique identifiers... yet these agents have no CBP marking or unique identifiers. Are you using your team as a secret Trump paramilitary? Secret police have no place in our democratic republic! https://t.co/3nQdSLPjC1 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

BREAKING: When I get back to DC next week, I will be introducing an amendment to the defense bill with @RonWyden to stop the Trump administration from sending its paramilitary squads onto America's streets. We won't let these authoritarian tactics stand. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

He committed his life to ending discrimination, fighting for racial justice, and opening the doors of opportunity to all. What an incredible man. I will miss him enormously. We all will. #goodtrouble — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

John Lewis was a powerful advocate to the very end. I'll never forget standing w/ him in the well of the House protesting Congress’s refusal to act on gun safety, & standing with him in the Johnson Room to introduce the Equality Act to end discrimination against LGBTQ Americans. — PolitiTweet.org

🚨 Given the egregious nature of the violations against Oregonians, we are demanding full investigations by the Inspectors General of these departments. https://t.co/F2VBTBccfd — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

🚨 Second, these agents are snatching people off the street with no underlying justification. Both of these acts are profound offenses against Americans. We demand not only that these acts end, but also that they remove their forces immediately from our state. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

🚨 DHS and DOJ are engaged in acts that are horrific and outrageous in our constitutional democratic republic. First, they are deploying paramilitary forces with no identification indicating who they are or who they work for. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

.@realDonaldTrump: Get your DHS lackey and uninvited paramilitary actions out of my state. Our communities are not a stage for your twisted reelection campaign. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Federal forces shot an unarmed protester in the face. These shadowy forces have been escalating, not preventing, violence. If @DHS_Wolf is coming here to inflame the situation so @realDonaldTrump can look like a tough guy, he should turn around and leave our city now. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

I can’t imagine Oregon w/out a vibrant music & entertainment industry. Our artists, event staff, & venues are woven into the fabric of our communities. Proud to be working w/ @SenatorBennet to pass #RESTARTAct & protect these small businesses & workers during COVID-19. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

We must act now to protect the 13,000 USCIS public servants facing furlough, but ANY bailout of this agency needs to come with strict guardrails to prevent these funds from being used to further Donald Trump’s anti-immigrant agenda. https://t.co/mIsB6O6gv8 — PolitiTweet.org

It’s a simple question: do you value the health of the American people over the profits of airlines? It’s not hard. I know my answer. https://t.co/b9N1gQXJUP — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Authoritarian governments, not democratic republics, send unmarked authorities after protesters. These Trump/Barr tactics designed to eliminate any accountability are absolutely unacceptable in America, and must end. https://t.co/PE4YfZ9Vqd — PolitiTweet.org
